Description
In the ancient civilizations of the EasternMediterranean, textiles were generally much more costly than foodstuffs,animals or bronzes; it is very likely that the same was the case throughoutprehistoric Europe. In this study, the firstfor over seventy years, Klavs Randsborg examines completely preserved woollendresses, both female and male, from Danish oak coffin graves of the earlysecond millennium BC. These garments, matched in age and superb preservationonly by finds from Ancient Egypt, along with related artefacts such as imagesand figurines, are used to build up a rich picture of Bronze Age society andculture in the context of archaeological, ethnographical and historicalinformation from Europe and beyond.
